Photos of the Oregon Trail (1945) show Sunset Carson standing with Peggy Stewart by a stagecoach and defending her with his gun drawn. He is wearing a black leather jacket with stud buttons. However, in the movie, he doesn't wear this jacket at all. Apparently this was his motorcycle jacket that he happened to have handy the day they were taking the photos. If you look carefully, you will see that this is true. There is a scene in the film that Peggy Stewart loves to tell about. Sunset was supposed to stop the stagecoach at one point and make everybody get out. He's looking for something. When he doesn't find it, he is supposed to say "Wind up those wheels and let 'er go." Director Tommy Carr did not want to have to dub the scene later so he told Sunset just to do the line. Sunset repeats the line "Wind (as in gust of wind). Apparently he kept making the same mistake in repeated takes, all of which cost the company money. Carr gets upset at Sunset and looks up at him. Sunset stood about 6'6" to Carr's 5'. Sunset looks down at Carr, pushes his Stetson back on his head, and says "I'll be damned, Tommy. It's "wind" in my script."
